Can you adjust the volume of the wake-up noises? Apparently on the HF3500, you cannot adjust the volume of the wake-up beeper. What about this model?

There are FM radio and 2 wake up sounds. According to the Philips site: "The selected sound gradually increases in volume to your selected level." This would imply that the wake up sound is indeed selectable.

The only way I know how it turn the volume off. It won't beep when its done but it will still light up when is done. HTH.

Set the alert feature to "siren" mode and it will sound relentlessly. At its highest volume setting, I can not fathom anyone sleeping thorough the siren on this thing. If you do, then you need to have your hearing tested!

It does Harold but remember, the alarm is very loud and there is no volume control that I could find! Do I use the two I bought? No, I can't wake the whole house everytime Momma leaves her room!

Yes, it retains the setting unless you clear it. My problem is the beeper is not loud enough for me. Otherwise, it works great.

It is very easy too set the alarm without assistance. It only turns one way so if you go past your intended time just keep going around until you reach the desired time. As for the volume, I think it is loud. It is not the annoying buzzzzzzzzzzzzzz of the previous models it is a digital beep which changes with urgency if you don't turn it off quickly.

I guess I went with the HF3520 because I wanted more choices with wake up sounds, and I liked the feature of waking to a sunrise. I have not once felt as though I paid too much for this product. I have been happy with all the features, save that it has to be reset each morning (with one press of a button- think I can handle that). Other than that, I pretty much agree with everything HiJinx said.

have not tried,, but speculate you manually turn it up high, and then remotely lower volume.. so I am told..

Good question; but, unfortunately no. It keeps beeping but stops at that. You have to turn off the alarm. Then the face shows original set time and you have to clear that. Sorry.

yes. enter 30 seconds and when the beeper starts press start/stop and the 30 seconds will reset and wait for for you to start it again. repeat as often as you like. dave f.

I stand corrected, I did not ever hear or notice the beep before now. Sorry if my previous answer led to confusion.

Three beeps may happen if you try to change the volume by holding the button down. If you simply click the "double dot" side button once, quickly, the volume goes up by one notch, then another, etc.

There is a setting for volume on the 'beeper'. Even with a wind blowing i can still hear it fine.

You can change the volume to hi or low. There is only 1 type of chime, kind of like an electronic doorbell "ding-dong" 3 times.

Push up or down for volume....... Hold up to change program, hold it will beep twice, then hold again it will beep three times and so on........

The alarm comes on low but increases in volume, no matter what the volume setting of the sound you use. I have not used the Tone or Radio as an alarm but used Wind Chimes, and it was nice. Started low and gradually increased. If you are not a light sleeper, set the alarm maybe 1 or 2 minutes before you want to wake up so that the volume reaches a level that will wake you up in time.

Not as loud as I would like and no way to make it louder manually. Also, would be happier if ringer volume could be increased. Perhaps if you contact Great Call directly, they could tell you if volume can be increased by them. Otherwise great product.
